Ruby Rippey-Tourk: Self-Help Scribe?
KGO7's Dan Noyes has it that cocaine-and-booze-free Ruby Tourk has already written two chapters of a hopefully-soon-to-be-published self-help book, which will detail her “‘hitting rock bottom with Newsom after 20 years of alcoholism and coke use.’”
As you remember, while married to Gavin Newsom’s former campaign manager and best buddy, Alex Tourk, Ruby was also Newsom’s party pit-stop for a spell. (And there’s the most darling Facebook picture of her tapping away at her latest effort here.) This could be the SF must-read book of the year -- as soon as she finds a publisher for it, anyway.
Apparently, the book’s focus is on Tourk’s difficult climb out of the addiction ditch. But have no doubt; Newsom is the pretty vase around which this book is being built. And we can't wait to read it, get helped. Even Newsom's chief political advisor, Eric Jaye, said, “‘I wouldn’t stand in line for Harry Potter, but I’ll stand in line for that.’” Totally.
No word yet on its title, but maybe you have a few ideas?

shows you what kind of trash she really is
get a fucking life and move on
lame!
Who cares.
Possible title #714:
"A Million Little (Press) Releases".
What? ... too derivative?
The book will be a juicy read, but I think the review by the "Girls Girl" on SFist will be better.
Working title: But Chris Daly
Finally! It's been, what, 5 months since Newsome admitted to the affair, and NO ONE has made a buck off these people's suffering yet!
Well, I'm glad someone's putting an end to this ethicality!
Oh Oh ...Gavin is going to be exposed for Cocaine use in her book and we will find out Matt Gonzalez was right and bowed out of the race because he was disgusted noone in the city believed him......... Stay tuned for more harrowing news.....
I saw Alex Tourk at an event recently without a wedding ring....Anyone know the latest between he and Ruby??
_She_Don't_Lie_She_Don't_Lie_She_Don't_Lie_
if they are no longer married, there should be a dissolution of marriage recorded somewhere. if i were in SF, I'd run down to the courthouse and check the records. those are public records as far as I know.
A leaked excerpt from Chapter 5...
I was somewhat taken aback when Gavin said, "Take a memo, Ripster. And by 'take a memo' I mean 'please allow me do another line of blow off of your naked ass.'"
if that's a real excerpt, she needs a grammarian.
Frankly I don't even believe her! “20 years of coke use” -- Pahh! Not real “coke use”: look at her nose (it's still there), her face isn't all puffy and she's not hanging out needy by the bathrooms at Medjool or in the alley behind 24th and Mission Bart.
So she's not just a “cheating would be self-help guru”, but one of those really annoying people who after they go through recovery find out that their hard luck story isn't really all that hard, and start embellishing.
To paraphrase, how about The Mayor Always Rings Twice.
I think Ruby is much prettier than that plastic Jennifer Siebel.
Good for her for writing a book. She may be able to help others who are in the same boat.
